Culinair AW162S Thermoelectric 16-Bottle Wine Cooler, Silver/Black

Bought it as a gift and it's holding up well as far as I know. Neat looking and is a good size for your home.

The product is 110v and isn't usable in India and that defeats the purpose of having a sleek thing in the bar..

product does not work and seller just making excuses and wasting time to come to any solution.no refund, no replacement, no repair

I've had this for a day and The highest praise I can give is that it wil do what it says it does--keep your wine a consistent temperature for storage. However, a couple of particularly frustrating things I discovered might be worth considering:1) The racks are sized for a more slender cabernet or merlot bottle. Wider bottles, such as pinot noir (of which I have a fair amount) or champagne, will NOT rest solidly in the shelf cradle if you you put them side-by-side on the same shelf. These bottles WILL fit in the same row, but will be pressed against each others' sides, and therefore lifted/pusged off center and not resting securely in the cradle.2) You'll have to by a separate thermometer of some sort to know what temp the thing is actually at. The (manual) temp control knob is simply numbered 1-5 with no indication of how that correlates to actual temperature.3) There is no rack on the bottom "shelf" (floor) of the cooler, so wine rolls around and knocks into each other just laying on the flat surface.4) Rolling would be less of a problem if the legs were more adjustable, as advertised, and I could level it on top of the fridge, where I've placed it. There isn't enough screw length on the feet (especially the front foot under the door hinge, which is much smaller in diameter than the other 3 feet) to raise it more than maybe 1/8"So does it work? At the most basic level, yes. Is it great. Nope. I'm considering returning for a slightly smaller 12-bottle model with a digital control and more reliable shelving.

keeps my wine at a good constant temperature. I really like it. It is compact and really quiet. only 1 zone but it works fine for my wine taste

My unit delivered several days early and came well packed. Upon inspection; not a scratch! After I cleaned it with dist/water and baking soda, I plugged it in and it was so quiet I thought it wasn't working. Once I listened through an inverted wine glass, I could hear it humming. I haven't tested the cooling range since that's not important for my purpose (cigar humidor) but it does cool. I will be building Spanish Cedar shelves for it but even with the bulky steel shelves, it holds three containers of humidity beads as well as 200 (so far) of my precious sticks! I have cent./air, so even if the cooler fails, all I wanted it for mostly was it's excellent sealing door and it's beauty. I couldn't be happier!

This cooler seems to be what I wanted. The only question is of course reliability. That will remain to be seen. First thing I did was plug it in - and it started right up. This is not always the case with refrigeration units that are shipped. It looks good, - it's quite compact, it has a thermostat. This cooler is for aging wines, not for chilling. It only goes down to 50. The temp for red wine aging is 58 degrees + or - two degrees. So far it's held steady on 58. It has no light, but that's ok for me because I don't go in and out of it. I have a thermometer inside on a permanent basis and every few days I check the temperature (by looking through the glass door) just to make sure nothing is amiss. The bottles fit nicely. There's plenty of length and width for the occasional fat bottle (for syrah, for example). If it continues to run for 5 years, it's perfect.

Meets our needs. Fan noise is about that of a PC from a few years ago. Not objectionable in a kitchen but audible. Cools about 25 degrees below an upper seventies room temperature . Fine for our needs but probably won't keep white wines at drinking temperature. Shelves are closely spaced. Holds standard Bordeaux/Cabernet shaped bottles easily, but many Burgundy/Pinot Noir shaped bottles won't fit easily. The shelves can be removed individually so we might remove one shelf to make room for larger bottles. The fit and finish is good. Not as nice as stainless, but the "stainless look" is not out of place with stainless steel appliances. Some of the other units we considered just looked like cheap plastic. Overall a good value.
